“Rachel Reeves Has Quietly Ended the Thatcherite Consensus & Opened the Door to the UK Becoming a Nordic-Style Economy…This is a Government that is shifting the dial away from neoliberal, US-style economics & looking more towards our neighbours on the North Sea” bylinetimes.com/2025/06/13/r...

I'm a naturalized citizen and I am terrified. Because please spare me the shit "if you came here legally, you have nothing to worry about."

Everybody must vote. Do not sit this out

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Trump has only just worked out what he’s done to US farmers with his smash & grab of vital immigrant workers. As we say in London… what a complete plonker.

It would be Great if the military took back their tanks n soldiers saying they can’t be used for birthdays 🤣😂🤣. #arresttrump

Senator Padilla, California Mayor Baraka, NJ Representative McIver, NJ Judge Shelly Joseph Judge Hannah Dugan, WI Rep Nadler aide, NY ALL DETAINED BY ICE This is some Stalinesque/Palpatine bullshit Defenestrate the Kakistocracy!

How do these tuckers sleep at night? Scum.

Liz Kendall is set to offer an “olive branch” on disability benefit cut plans to avert a Labour rebellion. The Guardian has been told of “non-negotiable” protections for “the most vulnerable”, providing additional support to those with the most severe conditions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Some thoughts on the Spending Review, written from a distance. Things are moving in the right direction, and gaining momentum, and we all need to put our shoulders behind the wider project. medium.com/@jamestplunk...

Looks like Farage has dropped Ant Middleton as Reform’s candidate for Mayor of London. What was it that concerned him about the tax-avoiding, Tommy Robinson supporter who assaulted a female police officer and wants to start an organisation based on the Nazi Brownshirts?

If Brexity folks start crying crocodile tears about the people of Gibraltar, note that a) the Gibraltar first minister supports this deal b) Brexity people sure as hell didn't care how Gibraltar voted in the 2016 Brexit referendum

Impressed with the Mail literally adding up all government spending over the entire period to get to £4 trillion. Adjusted for inflation Margaret Thatcher spent like £10 trillion pounds as PM! Disgrace.

🚨 NEW: Labour is fixing the housing crisis with the biggest boost to affordable housing in a generation – to build the 1.5 million new homes this country needs. 🤳 Share to friends and family.

The most striking thing about this speech is how rarely, in a country that is being tanked by wealth inequality, we hear politicians making it.

“We’re very proud of this country, and we’re very happy to pay taxes” @stephenstroud.bsky.social on why he’s a patriotic millionaire and why many people like him want to live in the UK and have no plans to leave. #BogusExodus #TaxTheSuperRich

A breath of fresh air. Not all millionaires are alike, some see that the tax burden is unfair on those with the least

I have never witnessed the utterly baboonish levels of jeering Reeves endures in the Commons - and this level of disrespect started on day one, so it is nothing to do with policies, credentials, or ability and everything to do with her being a woman.

Please read this. This is what our mania over immigration is doing to us. Psychologically brutalising British children freemovement.org.uk/committee-ad...

'You should know that I went out on my own terms, and it was my own decision, one of the only things I’ve had control over in the past weeks.' Dan Tuckley, assisted dying campaigner, in his message sent to MPs ahead of Friday’s debate. www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2066...

Loathsome orange cunt.

Every so often I remember that interest rates were below 1% for 12 years. I realise this is not "news". Nor is it news that, during that decade-plus, we failed to use the potential of dirt-cheap borrowing to invest in infrastructure projects that we belatedly realised we desperately needed. Hmph.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

⚡️EU unveils 18th package of sanctions against Russia, targeting energy, banking, oil. The EU has proposed for the first time a ban on transactions involving the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, as well as a reduction in the oil price cap from $60 to $45 per barrel, among other measures.

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?

No room for supporting other countries with AID and medical infrastructure as Trump announces that all USAid international jobs to go - people already impacted by abrupt withdrawal of food aid, medicines incl HIV and TB medicine and vaccines.

The importance of saving the BBC, rather than destroying it. The desire to let private interests completely take over and have us lose a potentially positive island of sanity that also provides us with a huge amount of soft power always strikes me as very wrong-headed. youtu.be/dU3GQPQmtCc?...
